Noticing a need for professional security specialists to deliver project solutions based on best engineering practices in the security industry, Casper Venter made the decision to pursue a career in the field.

The company specializes in security systems for various international companies.

“I believe that through hard work, integrity, quality and commitment, IES has established itself as a specialist company in the security industry, providing a service unparalleled to any other company in South Africa,” stated Mr. Venter. “By bringing together people with more than 200 years of combined knowledge, we have established ourselves as a force to be reckoned with in the field of integrated electronic security solutions.”

He excels at consulting and delivering turnkey project solutions for clients in the areas of security, design, engineering, and project management. As CEO, he is responsible for overseeing the management of the company, as well as the focus on security and consulting for clients in the mining sector.

An entrepreneur and business savvy professional, Mr. Venter started his own company when he was 21 years old. He gained experience in running a business, and served as the director of four companies before establishing IES. Mr. Venter was the director of Protech Control & Instrumentation, Sasol Fertilizers and Amplats. Throughout his career, Mr. Venter has done more than 400 projects in South Africa.

He attributes his success to providing quality products and services while maintaining a very high level of customer service to his clients. Looking toward the future, Mr. Venter’s goal is for his company to become the leader in the security industry in South Africa, and develop a footprint and deliver the services to the rest of Africa.
